Extra Credit Networking Post

I recently attended a networking event for PwC. It was an informational dinner and there were over 150 students from Accounting and Information Systems there. It was an opportunity to meet with many different PwC professionals and to ask any question you wanted about working for them. Dinner was served and there was a professional at each table to talk with you while you ate and then after, everyone proceeded to different rooms to talk about different jobs within PwC. I met a man named Travis and I had a great talk with him about advisory. He told me that there really is no difference between the big 4 firms. All of the jobs are pretty much the same, but the real difference lies in the culture. You have to decide where you fit best, not on the job description. It was really great talking to him because sometimes it is easy to get caught up in the name of a company instead of looking at what really matters, like if you fit in with their culture or not. Travis was super helpful and I feel a lot more confident about my career direction now.
